Ha! No such problems on my side, I photographed the
lunar eclipse (beautiful seeing conditions here in South
Africa, and it started around 20:30) with a Linhof Technika
and a 500mm Nikkor T-ED* f/11 on 6x7cm roll film (Portra 160VC).
No light meter, no settings, no nothin' to get wrong :-) Of
course, I have to see tomorrow if my shots came out any good,
so maybe I shouldn't be saying anything just yet...
